Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss London Social meet held on Sep 25, 2017. I am looking for a good pub for us to meet at, but that also depends on how many of us there are. There is no agenda to this meeting, it's just a chance for all of us to meet, particularly those new to IxDF and UX, to network and share experiences.
It was indeed a nice experience meeting with you all. Thank you Fiona, Andrea, Richard, Vikram and Nina for your time. Looking forward to meet you guys again! Cheers!
Hey everyone, Thank you all so much for your interest in this social event. I will be at the venue from 6pm and will try to greet you all when you arrive. I won't have any signage, but you should be able to find us. I'll call the pub tomorrow to confirm the booking and ask them where we will be, and update the details if I know more. There is no agenda or format to the evening, just a chance to meet people and chat. Grab yourself a drink, and perhaps even some dinner, and introduce yourself to some new people. Stay as long as the pub will have us! See you tomorrow evening :)
Thank Fiona for organizing this event. It would be my very first IxDF meet-up and I am really excited and bit nervous at the same time :) I will be reaching London on 23rd from Pune, India and will surely be there on time on Monday evening at the given venue. Do let me know if you need anything from here. See you all soon! Cheers! Vikram
Thanks for organising this Fiona. It will be great to meet up with other people taking these courses. I work in the Fitzrovia area and finish at 6, so anywhere in central london will work for me.
Thanks for all the venue suggestions. I will confirm the location by this evening and update the event info for you all. This is just a first meet for everyone to say hi and chat about whatever they like.
If you would like to arrange another meetup, please do add another date, time and location. Monthly would be great, but some people might like more often. All of us are able to do this, so go for it! :)
I would love to attend but I am out of the country until the 26th! So it would be great to continue arranging social meets :) :) Have fun, guys! See u next time! ;)
Hey Daniel, I've put 8:30pm as the finishing time, but that's just a guide. It's a social meet, so it can continue as long as people are happy to keep chatting and drinking. We can arrange socials meets as often as we like and on different days and times so everyone can come along at some point. :)
Thanks for setting this up! I'm newish to London, so I am completely in the dark as to which pubs are great. I work until 6pm weekdays in North Kensington, so preferably something close to either North Kensington or near a Hammersmith & City or Circle tube station would be the best!
I'll be in London Bridge area and my class runs 6.45 - 9 sooo could only meet just before for a quick hello. All good I'll make the next one. Monday is the only night i can't do usually. Make sure you get some notes and give me an update of it all :)
Here are a couple of suggestions for a venue. How do they work for everyone?
The Princess Louise pub, Holborn (Sam Smiths pub, seating, also has a largish upstairs if there's a quite few of us): http://bit.ly/2yjd89I
The Bowler Pub and Kitchen, Farringdon. (Used to be quite roomy. Haven't been there in a while but think it's still a good one?): http://bit.ly/2hapIUC
(As for me, I'm flexible and able to travel so please don't feel that these are my preferences.)
